Chihiro Natsuyaki SSR Story “Dazzling Dancing!” - Part 1
#ちぃとデートなうに使っていいよ /#Feel_Free_To_Use_This_Pic_Like_Ur_On_Date_With_Chii_Right_Now
(TL Note: The hashtag above roughly translates to “Feel free to use this picture (with the hashtag) "On a date with Chii right now”. This (デートなうに使っていいよ) is a common hashtag on X/Twitter where users will save existing photos under the tag to pretend they’re going out with their lovers)
Location: HAMA House
Tumblr media
Chihiro: OMG, yay! Mega win for Chii~☆
Kaede: Did something good happen, Chihiro-kun?
Chihiro: Mana-pii*! Guess what, guess what!?
TL Note: So Chihiro (and a few others) call Kaede “主任”. This title can be translated to the following: “person in charge”, “senior staff”, “chief”, “manager”. I picked “Manager” because it flows off the best, hence, Chihiro’s nickname for Kaede (主任ぴ) will be translated as “Mana-pii” in my translations since I don’t feel particularly fond of keeping it as “Shunin-pi”
Chihiro: So, like, that one pancake cafe that’s been makin’ the big buzz lately is doin’ a collab with Chii’s fav brand, TuRyStA, and——
Chihiro: Chii managed to snag reservation ♪ So now Chii can totes go eat those super adorbs TuRyStA bear pancakes
Kaede: That’s good to hear!
Kaede: I knew pancakes are trendy lately due to the retro boom, but collabs like this is totally unexpected…
Chihiro: They’re not just retro anymore, y’know. ‘Cause pancakes nowadays are steppin’ up their game ♪
Chihiro: Check out this site, Mana-pii. Like, pancakes and fruits are makin’ all the big boom now. That fluffy and creamy, melt-in-your-mouth feeling is totes to die for, ya feel~?
Kaede: Woah, they look so good!
Kaede: Ugh…. Hearing Chihiro-kun talk about this is making me crave something sweet now
Kaede: And I just had dinner too
Chihiro: Ahaha, it happens to the best of us~!
Tumblr media
Chihiro: Heard that Kirokkuma’s gonna go with his lil sis to this collab
Chihiro: It, like, just gives Chii the total sniffies* 🥺 at the thought of goin’ there alone, so Chii’s plannin’ to invite someone too, since 2 reserved seats already in the bag
TL Note: I decided to ‘translate’ マジぴえん / Maji Pien into “total sniffies” for dramatic effect lol
Chihiro: Hey, Mana-pii. Ya free this weekend? Let’s go indulge in sweets with Chii!
Chihiro: Also…. How ‘bout we grab some puddings for dessert right now?
Chihiro: Chattin’ with Mana-pii got Chii cravin’ for some sweets too ♪
Tumblr media
Chihiro: Y’know, as celebration for our reserved seats…. What’d ya think?
Kaede: Uh, but…. I’ve been eating too much lately….
Tumblr media
Chihiro: Y’know there’s always room for desserts, right? Like those that’re extra creamy, with nata de coco on top….?
TL Note: Here Chihiro used the kanji “別腹” which basically stands for “dessert stomach”/“having extra room in your stomach for dessert despite being full”
Kaede: Hnng…. Got it! I’ll have pudding with you today and pancake with you next week as well!
Chihiro: Now that’s the spirit! Mana-pii’s the best, you always get it~☆
Chihiro: Aight, don’t forget our weekend plans, ‘kay? If you forget, Chii’s gonna cry for real!
Tumblr media
Location: Cafe
Tumblr media
Chihiro: Cake ♪ Cake ♪ Pancake ♪
Kaede: Geez, I can already smell it…. I can’t wait for it to arrive
Chihiro: Totally! Chii’s secured the merchs, so now it’s just pancake-munching time!
Kaede: But… This really is a popular collab, isn’t it?
Kaede: It’s thanks to our reservations that we can just waltz right in, but there’s quite the line outside….
Kaede: Somehow, I feel kinda bad
Chihiro: Don’t sweat it, it’s totes fine. Enjoyin’ things like tasty treats and cool places also includes waitin’ in line as part of the fun!
Chihiro: ‘Cause nowadays, there’s even a system that lets you wait in line without actually physically wait in line, right?
Chihiro: But still, if ya linin’ up in front of the cafe, that means that was a deliberate choice!
Chihiro: And, like, just waitin’ for the pancakes to be served while chattin’ you like this, Mana-pii, is already so much fun for Chii…
Chihiro: Chii is sure that everyone outside waitin’ in line is having a good time like us too ♪
Kaede: I see. I guess you’re right
Kaede: Thank you. I was kinda nervous about coming to such a trendy place like this alone…
Kaede: When I’m with you, Chihiro-kun, even waiting is fun
Chihiro: …..!
Tumblr media
Chihiro: Damn, that’s, like, the ultimate compliment ever……
Delivery Drone: Thank you for waiting. Here are your “Stakichi Pancake” and “Turysuke Pancake”
TL Note: It’s probably obvious already but I’m just gonna point it out here just to be sure. “Turysuke” and “Stakichi” are just the word Turysta split in half, with common Japanese name suffix (-suke and -kichi) attached, making them into names
Chihiro: It’s here~!!
Chihiro: No way!? It’s this cute!? It’s so totes adorbs that Chii’s feelin’ like freakin’ out right about now!?
Chihiro: Mana-pii, don’t eat yet! Chii wanna snap a quick pic of Stakichi and Turysuke layin’ side-by-side!
Kaede: Of course. If I’m not mistaken….. This purple one’s called Stakichi, right?
Chihiro: Yep, yep! And, this red one is Turysuke, Chii’s fav bear!
TL Note: Chihiro used “推しクマ” and I debated whether or not I should keep it “oshi” as is but ultimately decided to just use “fav” instead. Since I dunno if everyone knows the whole culture behind “oshi” completely or not (plus, I guess it flows a bit better than writing “oshi bear”)
Kaede: Both of them are so cute… Ah, is this spot good for the drinks?
Chihiro: Okie-dokes. That’s the sweet spot!
Chihiro: First thing’s first, gotta snap some pics for SNS….
Chihiro: ‘Kay, Mana-pii get in-frame next! Let’s take a two-shot together to commemorate our outing!
Kaede: O-Okay
Chihiro: Thanks, Mana-pii!
Tumblr media
Chihiro: Woah~…. This place is, like, seriously Chii’s vibes
Kaede: (Chihiro-kun looks so happy. Just looking at him makes me happy too)
Kaede: (I’m glad we went here together….)
Chihiro: Let’s save the dazzle postin’ for later. Sorry to keep ya waitin’, Mana-pii. Shall we dig in now?
Kaede: Yeah. Let’s dig i——
Chihiro: Actually, pause! We gotta drop a message to the work chat so everyone at HAMA Tours can know ‘bout our date….
Kaede: Th-That’s embarrassing, wait!

[002-A06] Anemic Killer Horseshoe Crab~Night before the Counterattack~
Tumblr media
Summary — ✈︎ Kaede visits the Lion Theater to watch the movie that Akuta produced by himself. When he enters the theater, though, he finds Akuta sitting there with a gloomy expression on his face.
Characters— ✈︎ Akuta
Tumblr media
Location: Lion Theater
Tumblr media
Kaede: Excuse me…
(This place is the Lion Theater, isn’t it?
I guess it hasn’t started yet. No one seems to be hereーー)
Tumblr media
Akuta: ……
Kaede: Hee!
Akuta: …… Ah, it’s… Sensei?
Kaede: That scared me… Just what on earth is on your head…?
Akuta: I’m, the demonic, horseshoe crab. This whole world, I’ll curse it.
Kaede: I-I see… That’s a pretty unique way of talking…
Akuta: …… 
Kaede: Umm… I came to watch the thing on this tissue…
Akuta: Human, if you, want tissues…
There’s, still some, in that, mountain over there.
Kaede: (That box is filled to the brim with tissues…!
He definitely ordered the wrong amount…!)
Akuta: Go ahead, and take, as many, as you like.
Kaede: Don’t be so hasty! You can still use them for the next screening! You should save them for later!
Akuta: …… 
Kaede: (He has such a gloomy expression… It’s hard to see him like this, especially based on how he was before… I feel so bad for him.)
Is it fine if I sit next to you?
Akuta: Do what… you please…
Kaede: Thanks.
… They’re still doing screenings here, huh?
I thought this place was abandoned a long time ago.
Akuta: They’re not, it’s my, playground, that I sneak into…
Kaede: But isn’t the screening…?
Akuta: I rented, the projector… Got a bunch, of part time jobs… like, demolition, shopping for women, walking dogs, and stuff.
Kaede: I see… You worked really hard for this day huh.
But I don’t think it’s good to sneak in here though.
Akuta: …… 
Kaede: (He’s shaking his sword tail sadly…
I wonder if I could do anything to cheer him up)
Let’s wait a bit longer.
Someone else might show up after all.
Tumblr media
Akuta: … Mm, nah it’s fine.
My ass is starting to hurt… Ahaha.
Kaede: ……
Akuta: Y’know.
In the past, this place used to be where entertainment began in HAMA.
Kaede: … Yeah. I heard something like that. 
Akuta: I wish I could’ve filled it with a lotta people again.
If only I were a more famous, a galactic filmmakerーー
If only I was the type of human… that could have an influence on people more.
Kaede: … Akuta-kun…
Don’t stay stuff like that, cheer upーー
Akuta: Then… I’d be so popular I could die… And I’d be swarmed by a loootta women…!
I wanna play tag shirtless on the moon~~~!
And I’d eat lots of mochi with Bunny-chan and Bunny-kun~~!
And then, we’d build a huge 365LDK [1] house up there, and we’d have a drinking party where we’d drink a lotta shots~~!
Kaede: Akuta-kun.
Akuta: Yup!
Kaede: Since I’m here, I wanted to watch the movie that was going to be shown. Is everything ready?
Akuta: ーーOf… Course!
Everything’s all set!
I’ll get everything started real quickly…!
Tumblr media
Akuta: Hey hey, look look, this is a real projector! Isn’t it SUPER cool~~~!?
It’s so incredible. It has the weight from all these years… and the brightness is completely next level!
Didya know? When you’re talking about projectors, they project the film directly onto the screen. Directly! Isn’t that cool? It’s not data at all!
The colors from the film are projected exactly as they were from recording! 
It’s the real colors, not ones from an electric signal , y’know?
That’s why! I put a lotta effort into making the visuals look good!
Now then, now then… Take a look!
“Mysterious! The Anemic Horseshoe’s Counterattack!”
Tumblr media
Jessica [2]: “NOOOOOOOOOO!”
Philip: “What’s wrong!? I heard a scream just nowーー Nee-san!?
What’s wrong Nee-san!?”
“NEE-SAAAAAAAAAAAAN!”
Dr. Henry: “Yet again, there’s another dead body just like this…”
“The only common thread between them was that they were struck in the head with a terrifyingly sharp blade.”
“It’s almost like… they were stabbed with the tail sword of a horseshoe crab.”
Demonic Horseshoe Crab: “Guh… GUYAAAAAAAH!”
Dr. Henry: The demon is scared!? Just what on earth could scareーー”
“It can’t be… The syringe!?”
“I see… After having your blood taken for medical reasons for tens of thousands of years… You must’ve grown to resent humans.”
“I pity you, demon.”
“Butーー … This is goodbye.”
Tumblr media
Akuta: Whatdya think!?
Kaede: … Um… It was very innovative… Like it’s Avant Garde… Or like a roller coaster.
It was unprecedented… It was…
… It was a bit incoherent.
(Ah. I said it…)
Akuta: OH, incoherent! Yayyy〜 I’m happy〜! WOOO〜!
Kaede: (Wah, I’m relieved… Even though I accidentally said what was on my mind, I’m glad you don’t seem to be hurt…)
( … But really, everyone…)
( Really, could they not have come to watch even just a little bit?)
……
( I need to calm down… I’m sure that Akuta-kun is a hundred times more frustrated than I am)
(Today, this kid was both the star of the film and the director. I didn’t really get the message, but it was a great film in my opinion.)
(I’ll just return home today without showing him the proposal. I wouldn’t wanna spoil the mood.)
Then, it’s about time I go.
Akuta: Stoーp.
Kaede: Eh?
Akuta: Didn’t you come here to finish talking about that thing?
Kaede: No, but…
Akuta: Let’s hear it. …As a thank you gift for watching.
Tumblr media
Location: Cafe 369
Akuta: D-Delicious… Meat buns are SERIOUSLY delicious~~~~!
Heyhey! Is it okay if I get 20 more!?
Kaede: Yeah, get as many as you want.
Akuta: YAYYY! Thanks! You’re like a god, Sensei!
Munch munch, it’s too gooood!!
Kaede: (He told me he’d hear me out, but ended up asking me to get him something to eat instead…)
( I can’t believe he spent all the earnings he got from those part time jobs on equipment, costumes, and those tissues… He hasn't had a proper meal in days.)
Are you gonna be able to fill up on those meat buns?
Akuta: I will I will! They’re super tasty and big, and they’re fluffy and dense! It’s like eating a proper meal!
Kaede: I’m glad then… But what about your family? You didn’t say anything?
Akuta: Nah. I’m pretty much the only one there.
Kaede: … I see.
(Maybe he has a complicated family situation…)
Okay then, feel free to eat as much as you want.
Akuta: Thanks!
Kaede: Then you can just listen to me while you’re eating.
So the plan isーー
Tumblr media
We have decided that the members of the Community Revitalization Club will participate in a study tour as candidates for Ward Mayors.
During this training, they will experience work that a Ward Mayor typically does, and thus gain a deeper understanding of the job.
By the end, they will be graded based on their performance and contribution to the missions assigned on site.
If you pass this test, you will be officially appointed as a Ward Mayor…
That’s how the plan goes.
Tumblr media
Kaede: This is the plan and the parental consent form…
Akuta: I didn’t get it at all. It’s stupidly difficult.
Kaede: To make it a bit more understandable… Oh I got it.
Akuta–kun, you want to be a more popular person right?
Akuta: Eh, that’s what you’re saying…?
Kaede: Yes it is. Listen closely, Akuta-kun.
First up, I think that using videos as an expression is a great way to boost tourism.
Also, by having a lot of people watch the video, many more people will start to get interested in Akuta-kun’s work. You’d gain people who look forward to what you want to put out!
Akuta: ……
Kaede: What’s more, being a high school student as the Ward Mayor is sure to give you more attention at school too.
Andーー
The tissues that Akuta-kun worked so hard to make ended up getting treated so poorly.
Even though they were at a party, it was so carelessーー
Akuta: ……
Kaede: The people who let the equipment Akuta-kun spent all his money on go to wasteーー
I think we should make them look back on this day and regret not coming!
Akuta: ーーHaha!
Sensei, somehow you ended more fired up than I was~~!
Suddenly, you looked all fired up like a punk, it was crazyy! 
You’re more interesting than I thought~~~!
Kaede: S-Sorry. I got heated without realizing.
Akuta: Nah. Thank you for that.
Kaede: ……
Akuta: Alright… Let’s do thisss!!
For the sake of movies! And to be more popular~~~!
The others are being kinda reluctant too aren’t they?
I’ll find a way to get them to agree, so it’s all good!
I’ll get them to go on that study tour thingy!
Leave it to me!
Kaede: T-That’s reassuring, thanks.
But tomorrow is summer break, isn’t it? Do you have their contact information?
Akuta: ‘Course I do!
Kaede: ( I see, so they stay in touch with each other.)
(At school they didn’t seem to be all that close at school when I saw them though. 
They had a strange distance between them.)

And LDK stands for "Living Dining Kitchen" Typically you'd say like 1LDK or 2LDK for a one or two bedroom house respectively. 365LDK is . a 365 bedroom house.
For the film, every character is voiced by Akuta.

[Bitter Sweet Sixteen] 002-A06 - The Anaemic Killer Horseshoe Crab ~Counterattack's Eve~
Tumblr media
*door creaks open*
Tumblr media
Momiji: Excuse meee…
(Lion Theatre should mean here, right? I don't think it's started yet. Doesn't look like anyone's-)
Tumblr media
Akuta: …
Momiji: Hee!
Akuta: …Ah, that's… Sensei?
Momiji: You surprised me… What on earth is that on your head…?
Akuta: I'm… the demonic, horseshoe crab… I'm going to curse this entire world.
Momiji: I-I see… You've got a characteristic way of speaking, huh.
Akuta: …
Momiji: Umm… I came to watch this.
Akuta: Human… if you want… a tissue… There's still… a whole mountain's worth, over there.
Momiji: (There's a cardboard box packed full of tissues…! He ordered the completely wrong amount…!)
Akuta: Please, feel free… take as many… as you want.
Momiji: Don't be hasty! You can always use these at the next showing! Keep them safe!
Akuta: …
Momiji: (From what I'd seen of him so far, I'd never imagine Akuta-kun making such a dour expression… I feel bad for him.)
Could I sit next to you?
Akuta: Do what you want…
Momiji: Thank you.
*shuffle, clack*
Momiji: …So this place is still running, huh. I thought it was abandoned a long time ago.
Akuta: It's not running… it's my playground… that I sneak into…
Momiji: But, it said there'd be a screening…
Akuta: I rented… a projector… did lots of part-time work, like, demolition… shopping for older women… walking dogs… that stuff.
Momiji: I see… you worked hard for today. Though, it's not good to sneak in here.
Akuta: …
Momiji: (He's shaking the tail-sword* sadly… Is there anything I can do to cheer him up?)
Let's try waiting a little longer. Maybe someone will turn up.
Akuta: …Nah, it's fine now. My butt's starting to hurt. …Ahaha.
Momiji: …
Akuta: So.
In the past, this place was known as the origin of amusement in Hama.
Momiji: …Right, I heard about that.
Akuta: I wanted to make it full of people again.
If I was more famous, a galactic movie director-
If I could become… a human who could influence everyone more.
Momiji: …Akuta-kun…
Don't talk like that, cheer up-
Akuta: Then… I'd be so popular I could die… and have a HUUUGE number of women fawning over me…!
I wanna play topless tag all the way to the surface of the moon~~~! And eat as much mochi as I want with bunny girls and bunny boys~~!
And then, I'll build myself a three hundred and sixty five bedroom house there, and we can all have shot drinking parties every evening~~~!
Momiji: AKUTA-KUN.
Akuta: Yes!
Momiji: Since we're here, I want to try watching the movie you planned to show. Is it ready?
Akuta: -Of… course!
Everything's already set up! I'll get it started lightning quick…!
Hey hey, look look, this is a genuine movie projector! It's so cool~~~!
Impressive, right? It's the weight of all these months and years, the difference in brightness is insane!
Did you know? Projectors display the film directly. Di-rect-ly. Isn't that amazing? It's not data!
So the colour of the film is projected as-is! Not electric signals, the genuine colours!
Which is why! I was especially fussy over the surface of the shots!
Okay okay… feast your eyes! "Uncanny! Counterattack of the Anaemic Horseshoe Crab!"
*music*
Tumblr media
Jessica**: "AAAAAAAHH!"
Philip: "What happened!? That scream just now - Nee-san!? What happened, Nee-san!"
"NEE-SAAAAAAAN!"
---
Dr. Henry: "Another corpse in this state…"
"The common thread it that they were all stabbed by something frighteningly sharp."
"Almost like… they were pierced by a horseshoe crab's tail-sword."
---
Demonic Horseshoe Crab: "Gh… GUGYAAAAAAAHH!"
Dr. Henry: "The demon is frightened!? But just what-"
"It couldn't be, the syringes!?"
"I see… having your blood sampled for medical use for tens of thousands of years… you must hate us, us humans."
"I pity you, demon."
"But- …this is goodbye."
Tumblr media
Akuta: How was it!?
Momiji: …Umm… it was very experimental… avant-garde, maybe, or rather like a roller coaster.
Certainly original… um…
…It was kind of incoherent.
(Ah. I said it out loud…)
Akuta: OH, it's incoherent! Yesss~ I'm so happy~! Whoo~!
Momiji: (He's happy… I said it bluntly without thinking, I'm relieved I didn't hurt him.)
(…But really, everyone…)
(Really, couldn't they have come to watch even a little?)
(Calm down… Akuta-kun's got to be ten times more frustrated than I am.)
(Today, this kid's the lead role as a director. I didn't understand it, but I saw a wonderful piece.)
(I'll go back without showing him my proposal. I don't want to rain on his parade.)
Well then, I think it's about time I get going.
Akuta: Stooop.
Momiji: Huh?
Akuta: You came to continue that conversation, yeah?
Momiji: No, well…
Akuta: Let's do it. …As thanks for watching.
Tumblr media
Akuta: S-so good… meat buns are so GOOD~~~~! Hey hey! Is it alright if I get twenty more?
Momiji: Yep, ask for as many as you like.
Akuta: Hooray! Thanks! You're seriously a god, Sensei! Nomnom, it's so crazy good…!
Momiji: (I said I'd treat him in exchange for listening to me, but…)
(I can't believe he put all his part-time earnings into the equipment, costumes, and tissues, and hasn't eaten for days now.)
Are you going to fill up on meat buns?
Akuta: Absolutely! They're huge and delicious and fluffy and well-made, they're like a proper meal!
Momiji: That's good then, but… what about your family? Haven't you told them anything?
Akuta: Nah. It's basically just me at home.
Momiji: …I see.
(I suppose… his family situation is complicated.)
Okay, don't hold back and eat up plenty.
Akuta: Thanks!
Momiji: Alright, let's get started while you eat. This is the proposal-
Tumblr media
We have decided that, as Tourism Ward Mayor candidates, the members of the Regional Revitalisation Club will undergo a study tour over the Summer break.
At the training site, they will gradually gain a deeper understanding of the role through close work and personal experience with being a Tourism Ward Mayor-
And finally, they will be graded based on work method and contributions to achieving the goals set at the site.
If they achieve a passing grade, they'll be officially appointed as a Tourism Ward Mayor… that's how it goes.
Tumblr media
Momiji: This is a proposal and letter of consent aimed towards your parents…
Akuta: I didn't get that at all. It's too stupidly difficult.
Momiji: How could I put it more simply, then… I know. Akuta-kun, you want to be a popular person, right?
Akuta: Eh, is that what this is about…?
Momiji: It is. Listen closely, Akuta-kun. First off, I think using video as a means of presentation is a great way to boost tourism.
On top of that, if we show the videos to a huge number of people, there'll certainly be an increase in those who are interested in both your current and future works!
Akuta: …
Momiji: Furthermore, being a Tourism Ward Mayor as an active high schooler will definitely attract attention at school.
And-
Those tissues you put your all into making were treated so roughly. Even if it's a party, it's so thoughtless-
Akuta: ……
Momiji: The people who let the equipment you spent all your money on go to waste-
I think we should make them look back on today and regret not coming!
Akuta: -Haha! Sensei, why're you more fired up than I am~~!
You suddenly started looking all evil, that's wild! You're more interesting than I thought~~~!
Momiji: S-sorry. I got worked up without realising.
Akuta: Nah, thank you.
Momiji: …
Akuta: Alright… let's do this thing! For the sake of movies! For the sake of popularityyyyy!
Anyhow, the other guys are holding back too, right? I'll eloquently persuade them, so it's a-ok!
I'll definitely bring 'em on the day of that "study tour", so leave it to me!
Momiji: Th-that's reassuring, thank you. But Summer break starts tomorrow, do you know where to contact them?
Akuta: Of cooourse.
Momiji: (I see, so they're keeping in touch.)
(They didn't seem that close when I saw them at school, the sense of distance between them is strange.)
*"尾剣", using the kanji for "tail" and "sword" respectively. I was originally going to translate it as "telson", because that's the proper name for a horseshoe crab's tail, but - while this kanji doesn't seem uncommon to use - the JP term for telson is different (尾節), so I figured I'd go for a more literal translation since it fits the context as well
**All characters in the movie are played by Akuta('s voice actor)

Trick or treat, give me something ficcy to eat! ;D
(From this ask HERE)
Oh my dear Yuki... do I ever have something ficcy for you to eat! You see for you I couldn't just give something small or a snippet. Oh no. I had to go all out. And what better way to do that than to hunt down that old fic of mine you found and revise it a little bit? I mean you SENT ME A PHOTO of it on your computer, and go "Ahaha remember this old crossover fic?" There was no way I couldn't do that.
So as a treat to you (and I guess everyone else) behold my revised (long) snippet of a DMMD/XXXHolic crossover fic that never saw the light of AO3. It's not done and I don't know if I'll actually finish revising the whole thing. At this moment I did it for the ask. Rest is under cut because it's LONG.
Koujaku wasn’t sure how he arrived at the house but something deep inside him told him it was Right.
The day had started out as normal as possible for him which meant he woke up half an hour past his alarm. Several other notifications had appeared including several haircut appointments he’d scheduled for the morning. Beni had chirped and scolded Koujaku for several long minutes despite Koujaku’s frantic attempts to ease his robotic bird’s metaphorical ruffled feathers.
Thankfully, he didn’t arrive late to any of his appointments though the first couple of clients, a grandmother and her granddaughter, commented on his flustered appearance. Several decades of smooth talking helped drift the conversation away from his appearance and onto theirs. A good thing because Koujaku wasn’t certain he could live with the embarrassment of his clients knowing his frantic morning.
Once his morning appointments concluded Koujaku trudged out in search of lunch. His poor fridge only sported a couple apples, a rather sad looking banana, half a carton of juice, and leftover rice. The quest for lunch thankfully was solved by his favourite ramen place but suddenly branched into a grocery store journey.
According to one of his regulars there was an amazing new locally run grocery store that sold tofu to “die for” and produce that was the freshest they’d ever seen. It was a bit out of his normal journey but Koujaku decided he had little else to do that day and an adventure wouldn’t be the worst.
So, here he was on the way to this fabled grocery store when he stumbled upon the house.
The house in question was in a traditional Japanese style house complete with shoji doors, sloped titled roofs, and a frame made entirely of dark wood. Under the hot summer sun, the grain of the wood reflected warm undertones buried within, like it was sealing in amber. A neat smooth stone path guided Koujaku’s gaze in a soft curve allowing him to take in the greenery around the place. It was mostly shrubbery but there was an occasional short stubby tree that both looked like it was getting enough water and not was dying of thirst.
Stepping forwards Koujaku lay his hand on the final piece of the house: the large wooden frame that was connected to tall stone walls around the property. Normally the walls were a slightly common sight in suburban areas that wanted both privacy and sound proofing. However, for this particular house it gave the appearance of wealth. After all the entire estate appeared to be the size of two regular houses smashed together and merged into one full entity.
Intriguing. Was this house always there? Koujaku took a step further inside and examined the front of the house as if there would be some sort of sign to indicate the address. Nothing. Koujaku furrowed his brow before reality hit him over the head.
What the hell was he doing? Here he was waltzing into the middle of someone’s private property. He’d be lucky if all the owner did was yell at him. If the police were called it would add an extra hassle to his schedule.
Taking a step back Koujaku almost turned around when the door to the front opened revealing two children who appeared no older than ten. They were identical in every aspect except in their hair, which was pastel pink and blue respectfully. He jolted and panic welled up in his throat, mixing with several excuses and explanations to why he was randomly standing on the property. All of them sounded horrible and unconvincing and he hadn’t even said anything.
“I- I can explain—” Great now Koujaku had to try explain his presence to children. Hopefully their parents or guardians would arrive and listen to him.
“Welcome to our home!” the pink haired one chirped gleefully, extending a hand as if to welcome him inside.
“Mistress! We have a guest!” the other one with blue hair yelled.
“Uh… wait…”
In a blink the children were suddenly in front of Koujaku. Their hands were tightly gripped around his wrists as they dragged him slowly towards the house. Koujaku did his best to dig his heels into the ground but to his shock the children managed to tug him inside with ease.
Koujaku barely had time to kick off his geta in the genkan before he was dragged down a long hallway towards two large sliding doors. The kids opened it with more force than necessary and shoved Koujaku inside unceremoniously. He stumbled, nearly hitting his head on a low hanging paper lantern, but managed to not fall on his face or ass.
The interior of the room was just as traditional as the exterior with tatami mats, a kotatsu that was fully set up and out of season, several framed pieces of calligraphy that Koujaku believed were lines from poetry, and a low couch.
Draped on the couch in a posture that could only be called lounging was a woman. Her long black hair fell off the arm of the couch in inky waves that complimented her pale skin. The kimono she was wearing was a deep burgundy colour like the colour of wine with several golden butterflies along the sleeves and hem. The obi was also gold and was loosely wrapped around her waist as if she wanted to be comfortable but didn’t want to change. In her hand was a long thin black pipe that billowed thin smoke yet Koujaku couldn’t smell anything.
Koujaku straightened himself up. “Uh, my apologies. You see I—”
The woman lowered the pipe from her lips. “Watanuki! We have a customer! Bring some tea and snacks pronto!”
From beyond a door Koujaku heard a masculine voice yell but he couldn’t make out the words. The woman seemed to be able to as she laughed merrily and took another drag of her pipe before looking at Koujaku. Her eyes were light with mischief yet deep with allure. Koujaku swallowed.
“Welcome to my shop,” she greeted. “I’m Yuko the owner and here we grant wishes.”

Writing Request: Raeda and Lumity are both on a date at the same place. Somehow Lilith and Hunter got dragged along. The two aroace third wheels bond over mst3k-ing over those two couple's antics.
I! Do not know what that means! But I can guess!
xxx
Raine bumped into Eda as they both reached for a cabinet. “Oh—" They brought their hand down. “Excuse—”
“Uh—sorry—” Eda started at the same time, moving her hand away.
“Oh—you g—”
“After y—”
They both reached for the door again, but this time, Eda pulled away before Raine could. “You. You go first.”
Despite the obvious indication for them to go first, Raine’s hand stalled. “Are you sure?”
“I just need a mug, I’ll survive two seconds.”
Raine opened the cabinet. “Sorry for getting in your way, Eda.”
“Ahaha, not a problem.”
“But you’d tell me if it were, right?”
“Uh, yeah. Of course.”
Raine took down two mugs. “I just want to be sure I’m not a bother.”
“You’re not a bother, Rainestorm.” Eda snorted. “Trust me, if you were bothering me, you’d know.”
“Alright.”
Luz watched the whole interaction from the kitchen table, slowly eating cereal. “You two need to go on a date,” she announced.
Eda laughed, then stopped. “Oh, you’re not kidding. What?”
Luz pointed her spoon at the two of them. “You’re out of sync. You don’t know what you share in common now that we’re not at war anymore. You need a date to reconnect, and reestablish who you are, and what you like, and what each other’s boundaries are!”
Eda gave her a pained grin, putting an arm around Luz’s shoulder. “Hehehe… Luz, can I talk to you for a second?”
She whisked Luz outside, keeping her head low so that she and Luz were face to face. “I can’t go on a date with Raine!”
“What? Why not?”
“Because I haven’t been on one in AGES! Not a REAL date, anyway! Not since I… since they broke off our last relationship.”
Luz grabbed her mentor’s shoulders. “That’s exactly why you need to go on one now!”
“It’s just… ahhhhh, I don’t know, what would I even do on a date?”
Luz grinned. “Carnival’s back in town.”
“You mean the one where Tibbles shrank you and put you in a pen of dangerous animals?”
“That’s the one! It’s fine, the odds of that happening again are almost zero. Amity and I are going, why don’t you and Raine come with us? Play some games, win each other some cute, overpriced prizes?”
Eda and Luz glanced back at the house. Raine was leaning against the counter, sipping coffee casually, but their face was blushing red. Eda tugged on her hair, her own face bright as a tomato. “Ooogh. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, why not! I’m the most powerful witch on the boiling isles! I befriended the owl beast curse! I can knock a measly date out of the park!”
“Yeah!” Luz cheered, “And if you need anything, Amity and I will be right there.”
Eda squared her shoulders, marching right back into the house. “Raine Whispers, we are going to the carnival!”
They jumped. “We are?”
“We are.”
Luz hissed in. “Whoof. On second thought, I might need to call in a liiiiiittle more backup.”
Xxx
Hunter jumped as the door to the study room he’d booked in the library slammed open. “Hey!”
“Hunter, I need your help,” Luz announced from the door.
“Shhh,” Amity chided, holding onto Luz’s arm, “Library. You don’t want to get kicked out again, do you?”
“Sorry,” Luz whispered back. “I need your help,” she repeated, more quietly.
Hunter eyed her. “With… what?”
“Amity and I are going on a double date with Eda and Raine, and—”
“Nnnnnnope. Nuh-uh. I’m not tagging along to hold your stuff while you all stare into each other’s eyes.”
“No!!! That’s not what I’m asking!!! I just…” Luz sighed. “Eda and Raine haven’t been on a date in a long time, and I want to make sure it goes smoothly. Do you think you could help me just… make sure things around the area are okay? Maybe rig a few things in our favor?”
Hunter set his pen down, leaning back in his seat. “Where are you going?”
“The carnival.”
Hunter hissed in. “There are a lot of factors, there. Scammers. Large crowds. The weather. The tendency of the roller coasters to fling their occupants out into the sky. I can’t control everything.”
“Don’t worry! I’ve enlisted help,” Luz promised.
“Help? Who? Gus is at the looking glass graveyard today… Willow’s at a seminar on the combative ability of plant magic… and I’m assuming you and Amity are going to be enjoying the carnival as well. King?”
“No, King hates the carnival. Bad memories. C’mon outside, she’s waiting for us.”
She?
Hunter gathered up his supplies and stuffed them into his bag, running out after Luz and Amity. He stopped dead when he saw a familiar poof of black hair. “Oh, no.”
Lilith looked up from her Penstagram scroll (tuned onto one Flora Desplora account), and her face twisted like she’d smelled something rotten. “He’s coming with us?”
“I promised I wouldn’t make you do this alone,” Luz told her, “You and Hunter are going to work together!”
“No, we’re not,” Hunter and Lilith said at the same time.
Lilith shook her head. “I was willing to help you out with Edalyn because I’m getting a liiiiiitle irritated at the pining-across-the-table that goes on during reconstruction meetings. But the golden br—guard and I don’t work well together.”
“It’s Hunter,” he snapped, “And I’m out.”
He turned back towards the library, and Luz ran up next to him. “Hey—Hunter. Hunter. C’mon, don’t… please?”
“It’s not going to work, Luz. Even if I wanted to work with her, she wouldn’t want to work with me. We’ve always been a bad mix.”
“That was back in the coven, Hunter! Things are different now, both of you are different! Lilith’s way more bark than bite, anyway. Please? Try?”
You’ve changed
Maybe she has, too?
Hunter sighed. “Fine. I’m on it. Nothing will go badly. Promise.”
“Ha! Thank you!” Luz tugged him back down the stairs towards Lilith. “Both of you.”
“I’m going to need more elixirs,” Lilith grumbled.
She and Hunter followed Luz and Amity at a distance, and with at least two feet of space between the two of them. Luz and Amity met Raine and Eda at the gates of the carnival, and the moment they were inside of the grounds, Hunter began to scan the area for threats.
Scam stand.
Scam stand.
Future toothache.
Fire hazard.
Scam stand.
Oh!
Hunter traced a plant glyph on the ground, and other carnival goers yelped and jumped to the side as vines sprang out of the ground. One of Lilith’s eyebrows quirked upwards when Hunter lit the vines on fire.
“What, may I ask, are you up to?”
Hunter pointed at a bird, heading on a direct course to intersect with the happy couples.
The glyph fire was big and hot, fueled by the plants, and the heat rising from it created a pull in the air, wind whipping through Hunter’s hair.
The bird drifted ever-so-slightly through the air, lazily soaring off of its original course.
“Birds have a tendency to take a dump,” he explained, “Kept it away from Raine and Eda.”
“I don’t think that’s quite what Luz had in mind when she asked us to make sure there were no problems.”
“I’m taking this very seriously. Why aren’t you?” Hunter surveyed the games. “Those are rigged.”
“Yes, they are. It’s how the carnival makes money.”
“You know Eda and Raine better than I do. Which games would they be most likely to pick?”
Lilith surveyed the games. “Eda will pick ones that show off her strength. The hammer hit. One of the ones where you throw a ball at a target. Raine prefers the shows, as long as they don’t have to participate in them. But if we want them to have a classic ‘romantic’ time to rekindle old feelings, I’d suggest we steer them closer to the roller coasters. They were drawn back together by dangerous times fighting a dangerous enemy. Recreating a sense of danger in a controlled environment and causing an adrenaline rush will push them together.”
Hunter eyed the steep roller coaster. “You don’t think maybe they’re a little… old… for a roller coaster? It might blow out their backs or give them heart failure.”
Lilith spluttered, and too late, Hunter remembered that she was older than Eda. “They are not too old for roller coasters,” Lilith spit out, “Eda regularly does barrel rolls as a giant feathery harpy. Do you really think a roller coaster is too rough for her?”
“In that case, don’t you think after everything, maybe a roller coaster is a little bit boring? Let’s just do the games.”
“You know, I’m not sure this is exactly what Luz had in mind when she asked us to make sure nothing went wrong. I’m almost certain she meant to just make sure they didn’t get their pockets picked, or get attacked by one of their enemies, not set up the best day ever.”
Hunter waved a hand. “Between the two of us, I’m sure we can engineer the perfect date. Then Luz will never ask us to do this ever again, because Eda and Raine will be set.
One of Lilith’s eyebrows quirked upwards. “Because you’ve been on so many perfect dates, golden guard?”
“I told you, it’s Hunter. And I don’t exactly remember your love life being the talk of the coven either, Lilith!”
“Pshhhh. I could get any witch I wanted to. I can name at least three off the top of my head who’d jump at a chance for a date.”
Hunter crossed his arms. “Oh, yeah? Prove it.”
“Do you think I want someone slobbering on my face? No thank you. We have a job to do, anyway. Let’s just rig those games already.”
She marched towards a game where the objective was to throw a ball at a circling belt of silhouette creatures and knock them over for points. Hunter remembered patrolling the carnival grounds a few years ago, and the game had been outfitted with cartoonishly sinister wild witches that the player would aim for. They’d been replaced by cutouts of coven scouts, and Hunter winced.
Lilith slammed her hand down on the stall counter. “Hey,” she snapped, “I’ve gotten reports of problems with this game. Management sent me and the mechanic to check it out.” She jerked her head back to indicate Hunter. “Everything alright?”
The witch running the stand shrugged. “Probably just some sore loser kids complained to their parents, and they got bent out of shape. Game’s working as it’s supposed to, if you know what I mean.”
“Ah, parents. I’m sure you’re right. We’ll just take a look anyway, check off all the boxes, alright? Everyone does their jobs, everyone gets paid.”
Hunter slipped around the edge of the stall, snagging a rack of emergency tools. The hinge mechanism that would let the cutouts fall backwards was tight and stiff, and no matter how hard he pushed on a scout cutout, it held firm. Hunter pulled out a screwdriver and loosened the hinges just a bit, enough that a decent push would knock the cutout over. After he loosened all of them a bit, he popped up and gave Lilith a thumbs-up.
“Looks good! Game should run perfectly.”
Lilith glanced over at the roaming carnivalgoers and gave the stall owner a tight grin. “Okay, off we go, other games and rides to check and such, goodbye!”
She grabbed Hunter’s arm and all but yanked him over the counter, hustling him away. Hunter shook off her hand.
“Hey, you don’t get to drag me around! What’s wrong?”
“They’re coming this way. I told you Eda wouldn’t be able to resist the games. She wants to win prizes, impress her partner. Look.”
Lilith ducked behind a stall, and Hunter followed, peering around the corner. Eda wiggled her eyebrows at Raine as she whipped a ball towards the coven scout cutouts.
“Oh, I much prefer this version of the game,” she laughed. The cutouts went down one after another. “Man, they’re just as easy to take down as the real life versions, ha!”
Raine laughed with her.
“Blech,” Lilith and Hunter said in unison.
“It wasn’t even funny,” Hunter complained.
Lilith shook her head. “Their judgement is impaired around her.”
Hunter nodded in agreement. “Speaking of judgement impaired around each other, we should rendezvous with Luz and Amity.”
“About what?” Luz’s voice asked behind them, “Also, hey!”
Hunter jumped. “Don’t do that! What are you doing here?!”
“It’s a double date. We’re staying near Raine and Eda. How’s it going?”
“We’ve got this. I promise.” Hunter glanced at Lilith, then back towards Luz. “Do you think… maybe you could steer them towards the roller coasters?”
“Hm, yeah. Which one?”
“The more dangerous it looks, the better,” Lilith cut in.
“Ahhhh, okay.” Luz took Amity’s hand. “You want to do some rides?”
“There doesn’t happen to be a tunnel of love ride, does there?”
“Awwwww,” Lilith said dryly, “Aren’t you two precious.” She blinked at Amity’s irritated glance. “Oh, that wasn’t sarcastic, you really are quite adorable. Anyway. We’ll keep handling things from the ground, just get them on those rides.”
Amity and Luz nodded, moving towards Eda and Raine. The two couples made their way towards the coasters, Eda showing off the prize she’d one, a large selkidomus plushie that she pushed into Raine’s arms with a magnanimous bow.
Lilith nudged Hunter. “I see you were listening to my advice after all, hm?”
“And you’re sure about the rides? We can’t control the circumstances once they’re up there, it’s anyone’s guess what will happen.”
Lilith gave him an odd look. “Gol—Hunter. I think you’re taking this a little bit too seriously. Take it from Luz’s coolest aunt—”
Hunter held back a snort.
“—you need to learn to let go juuuuuuust a little bit.”
“I know, I just…” Hunter paced back and forth. “I don’t want to fail her.”
“Who? Eda? I don’t think she’ll—”
“No, Luz! She’s counting on me, she’s trusting me, and—”
“And you don’t want to let her down, I understand. Truly, Hunter, I do. Probably better than anyone else does. You’ve been given a second chance and… you don’t want to waste it.” Lilith fidgeted with her glasses. “You just… need to be careful that you’re not simply replacing Belos.”
“What?! I wouldn’t—I don’t replace people, I don’t—”
Lilith raised one eyebrow, and Hunter sighed. “Alright. Finish your speech.”
“Thank you.” Lilith twiddled her thumbs. “I don’t necessarily mean… replacing Belos, not… I just mean that it’s… easy. To slip back into old habits. And you don’t even realize it’s happening because… this time it’s for the right reasons, right? This time, the people you’re following are good, they care about you. They’re actually worth devoting your life to.” Lilith sighed. “But it doesn’t mean that you should worship them the way you did him.”
“Wow. Hear that one from your therapist?”
“Yes, actually. They’ve been wonderful, and excellent at handling the horrors of the emperor’s coven. I highly recommend them, if you’re interested. The point is, Hunter, while of course we want to help Luz, and we don’t want to intentionally fail her, this also isn’t the most life or death scenario in the world, and part of… healing, I suppose… from the coven, is learning what situations call for how much seriousness and control.” Lilith rolled a hand. “She did the hard work of setting this up, and is steering Raine and Eda along, we’re just… backup. Here to make sure that nothing—”
A boom echoed across the carnival, and Lilith was framed by plumes of fire rising up from the rides area. A whoosh of wind swept over them, pushing Lilith’s hair forward. Screams followed, and Lilith’s eye twitched.
“…explodes,” she finished, “Edalyn.” She took a deep breath and gulped down an elixir, brushing a stray feather out of her hair. “Alright. Let’s go.”
“This! Is why! I wanted! To control! The variables!” Hunter yelled as they ran towards the rides, pushing through panicked patrons.
“Normally, I’d agree with that sentiment! But my therapist told me I should try to…” Lilith’s lip curled, and she made air quotes. “‘Re-lax.’”
“Time to ditch the therapist, then?”
“No! I just picked the wrong time to do so! It appears!”
The Wheel Of Torment had tilted off of its axis in a screech of metal. Hunter could spot Luz, lowering people down with vines, into the waiting arms of abominations directed by Amity.
“Oh, good. They’re okay.”
“Hm.” Lilith pointed upwards. “Not for long.”
A flock of Pegasus were flapping towards the carnival, breathing fire.
“Augh,” Hunter groaned, “What is it with the birds today?! Okay, We can handle this, just—”
The wheel screeched again, and more screams tore out.
Lilith pointed to the wheel. “Citizens about to fall to their dooms first. Pegasus second.”
Hunter nodded, and they raced towards Amity. “What’s the situation?!”
“Most broken wheel of all time broke. Surprise!”
“When I said most dangerous, I didn’t mean in an actually will kill you sense!” Lilith yelled. She started drawing glyphs all over the ground, ice pillars and vines rising up to stabilize the wheel.
Hunter jumped onto an ice pillar as it went up, taking him to the carriages. “Come on, I’ve got you.” He drew a plant glyph, securing the vine to the riders’ waists and lowering them down to the ground. Clamber up the wheel. Lower people down. Repeat. At least Lilith had managed to prop the wheel up, and it wasn’t tilting around.
At least until the pegasus hit. They started to attack the supports, breathing fire that melted and burned at Lilith’s magic.
“No, no, n—”
“OUT OF THE WAY!” Eda’s voice called, and she soared through the air in her harpy form, crowing. Raine sat atop her back, sending out beams of light from their viola that sent pegasus flying left and right. Hunter scrambled along the wheel to Luz. “Everyone’s off, we need to—”
The wheel tilted, and Hunter caught Luz’s wrist as she nearly lost her balance.
“Whoa! Okay, we need to get off. If we tie ourselves together, we can create a pulley system that—”
Luz grinned. “Nah, that’ll take too long. I got a better plan.”
“Huh?”
“Hey!” Luz yelled to Amity, “Sweet potato! Catch!”
She grabbed Hunter’s hand and took a flying leap off of the wheel, yanking him off of the wheel. “WHOO!”
“AUGH, NO, NO, NO—”
The ground rose up towards them, but so did an abomination, safely softening their impact and gently lowering them to the ground. Hunter gripped Luz’s hand tightly, panting.
“I—will—kill—you.”
Amity rushed towards them, taking Luz’s face in her hands. “Luz! That was incredibly dangerous, are you trying to get killed?!”
“Aw, I knew you’d catch me. Besides, uh…” Luz pointed upwards as the wheel screeched and groaned, starting to slid out of the weakened supports. “We were about to fall off anyway.” She extracted her hand from Hunter’s, and patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry about it, I had a softfall glyph ready just in case, we were always going to be fine.”
“Ooooough, I’ve got it, I’ve got it, I’vegotit!” Lilith called, drawing more glyphs and pushing up the wheel before it could fall on them. “I’ve got it. There we are. It’s fine. It’s aaaall fine. I didn’t study architecture just to not be able to properly support a falling wheel of death.”
“Wheel of Torment,” a carnie offered weakly.
“No one asked you.”
Hunter shuffled on his feet, rubbing his arm. “I’m sorry. I was supposed to be your backup. I shouldn’t have let this happen.”
Luz blinked. “Wai—what?! Hunter, literally no one could have predicted this! Except maybe whoever cleared that wheel for rides! And even they couldn’t have predicted the Pegasus attack!” She laughed. “I guess I should have known that a demon realm date had a chance of turning into a high stakes adventure.”
“Yeah, but… Eda and Raine…”
Hunter heard a sigh from Lilith. “No, it worked. Not quite the adrenaline stimulating scenario I had in mind, but I should have known. Look.”
Hunter craned his neck up to see Eda and Raine sharing a midair kiss. “Oh. There they go.”
They broke apart, laughing and complimenting each other on their Pegasus-slaying skills.
Amity took Luz’s hand. “We made a pretty good team back there.”
Luz gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Yeah, we might have a career in ‘saving people from falling carnival rides.’”
Amity laughed. “With the way this carnival tends to go, that might be more necessary than you think.”
Hunter made a face, and turned towards Lilith. “Mission accomplished?”
“Mission accomplished.” She put a hand to her chest, standing up straight. “We made a pretty good team as well, if I do say so myself.” Her nose crinkled. “I’m not kissing you, though.”
Hunter jabbed a thumb towards the remaining roller coasters. “You want to ditch the happy couples and check the safety regulations on the rest of those rides to make sure nothing else is substandard?”
Her eyes lit up, and she produced several screwdrivers from her hair, holding them between her fingers like claws. “Oh, more than anything.”

Uh, My Existence Is Probably Treason...?
Solomon greets Annelie with sigils inscribed all over his clothing. 
Solomon: Did anyone follow you?
Annelie: No, but I’ve already gotten a missed call from Lucifer, and I imagine he’s stressing himself out to the max. 
Solomon: Good. 
I don’t think that’s good at all. 
Annelie: You said you would explain what was going on, so why am I the only one who left the house?
Solomon rifles around in his coat before he extracts a vial filled with Annelie’s blood. He unstops it. 
Annelie: What are you—
Solomon dumps her blood onto the ground, and a small rodent pops out of the ground to curiously sniff the blood before it suddenly makes a beeline for Annelie and tries desperately to crawl up her leg. 
Annelie: OW! Ow, sharp claws! Get off!
Annelie picks up the rodent and flings it away, only for it to come charging back. Solomon traps it in a jar with the soil the blood touched, and it claws at the glass while making harsh screeching noises. 
Solomon: Just as I thought...
Annelie: What? What’s just as you thought?
Solomon: Anne, you’re a ruling class succubus. 
Annelie: ...am I supposed to know what that means, or does that just mean I’m royal?
Solomon: No, I was just trying to figure out how to explain it politely. Succubus Blood Disease is one thing, but your particular brand of that is a lot worse. You throw people into extreme states of arousal, and one of three things will happen. 
Annelie: Which are?
That rodent... doesn’t look well. 
Solomon: The first is nothing. 
Annelie: O...kay?
Solomon: The second is death.
Annelie: Oh.
Solomon: And the third is submission.
Annelie: What?
The rodent stops scratching at the glass and flops over.
Solomon: The latter two outcomes are much more likely, but here’s how I believe it works. Suppose a Queen Succubus is fighting and is mortally injured. Magic and pheromones are released with the blood, and the enemy is inflicted with debilitating hypersensitivity. This disease saps at life force and sends it back to its magical origin until the Succubus forces it into dormancy. Absolute obedience is instilled, lest the disease progress further, and the Succubus gains a slave. The demon seeks life more than anything else, so they unconsciously try to—
Annelie: —make me force it into dormancy?
Solomon: Essentially, yes. I suspect the effect on Diavolo will be the worst, since he’s rarely exposed to you, and the reverse can probably be said for Lucifer. 
Annelie: Does that mean I can at least call him back? He’s probably having a meltdown. 
Solomon: Don’t let anyone hear your voice. Just text him. 
Annelie: ...fine. 
Annelie texts Lucifer and immediately gets a block of text back. 
Annelie: So... once they’re infected, I have to make them submit if I don’t want them to die?
Solomon: So it would seem. 
Annelie: And to make them submit, I have to have sex with them?
Solomon: That’s the most common magic release mechanism, from what I read.
Annelie: What kind of twisted asshole made up this broken mechanic?
Solomon: I think that would be you. 
Annelie: Sol, we only have so much flex tape, and we can’t use it to tape your mouth shut. 
Solomon laughs. 
Solomon: I think it’s okay. In any case, I’m going to go in there and see what I can figure out. 
Annelie: ...I feel like this was a complicated ruse for you to make a pact with Diavolo.
Solomon: I would never. 
Annelie: ...
Solomon: Ahaha. 
Lucifer: There you are. 
Lucifer wraps his arms around Annelie, startling her in the process. 
Solomon: Jesus christ, Lucifer, you smell like flowers. It almost makes my head hurt. 
Lucifer glares. 
Lucifer: I appreciate your help, but stay the hell away from my Annelie.
Solomon: I’m feeling some intense deja vu. 
Lucifer: Want me to break the cycle? 
Solomon: Considering it seems like you’re ready to throw down, I’ll pass. Haha...
Solomon passes them and enters the house. 
Annelie: Did anyone see you come out?
Lucifer: It doesn’t matter. 
Lucifer squeezes her closer.
Annelie: Lucifer, did you even read your texts?
Lucifer: I read them, and I don’t care. 
He bites her, and she gasps. 
Annelie: Oi!
Lucifer: You’re mine, and no one else will touch you. 
Lucifer drags her back inside the House of Lamentation.   
Haha. I’m going to die.

answer your 30 questions please and thank you!!!
WOO. HERE WE GO, YA'LL:
ao3 wrapped [writers edition]
How many words have you written this year? Published? 22,685. Unpublished? A loooooot ahaha.
How many works did you publish this year? Currently, 3. Hoping to have 4-5 by christmas though. 👀
What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)? definitely cause i'm lovesick. That thing was a labor of love. My first fanfic baby in a loooong time.
What work of yours has the most hits? currently cause i'm lovesick (I ain't even ashamed), which is at 735 hits. But it's kind of biased, considering I only came back to fic writing in like october.
What work of yours got more feedback than you expected? nothing in particular - I'm just happy to have any engagement!
Favorite title you used honestly, no favorite as of yet. All the titles I've used come from song lyrics that are super royai coded/important to me, so I like them all. That answer could definitely change in the future though!
If you use song lyrics, which artist’s songs did you pull from the most? most recently, taylor swift (hopeless, breathless, burning slow), but also banks (cause i'm lovesick and you're all that matters to me anyway - she's SO GOOD for angsty love songs). Lyrics are so, so important to me. I have a ~300 song royai playlist (which I'm going to slim down and post here at some point) that I listen to constantly, lol, and a huge notes file on my phone filled with potential song lyric titles. I have a music degree and it's literally so important to my writing process aajsaksjljasjl.
Pairing you wrote the most for this year? Royai. lol. That's not going to change any time soon. The extreme hyperfixation is REAL.
Favorite pairing you wrote for this year? Again royai. They're the best. My babies. 💖
What work was the quickest to write? Surprising, chapter 2 of hopeless, breathless, burning slow. started it last night and i'm already nearly done the first draft. That thing flew out of me, especially considering chapter 1 was much more of a journey lol.
What work took you the longest to write? definitely chapter 1 of hopeless, breathless, burning slow. it wasn't the writing that was the issue - it was the editing. I really dragged my feet on it, and could have had that thing out like 2 weeks ago. 🤦‍♀️
How many WIP’s do you have in your docs for next year? oh god. my wip's currently include: - chapter 2 of hopeless, breathless, burning slow - sequel to cause i'm lovesick (I ain't even ashamed) - a christmas fic - angsty, hurt/comfort, character exploration, ishval restoration multi-chaptered fic (I'm REALLY excited to work on this!!! yay angst) - roy and riza returning to her old father's house post-cannon and STUFF HAPPENS, fluff, hurt/comfort, etc (also really excited for this one! i've been daydreaming about it for MONTHS. Even just thinking about this fic feels like sinking into a warm bath. That's the vibes I want it to give) - ANOTHER post-promised day fic, because I'm a broken record, but this time more humorous/cute. - aaaand yet another post-promised day fic, but one where Riza REALLY ISN'T DOING WELL/almost dies like a million times at the hospital and roy is sad (!!!). - briggs angst/sick fic - does that make sense? no? it will. Yeah. yeahhh. That list is only going to get bigger. 🤷‍♀️ Some of these will also, shockingly, not have smut lol.
What’s your longest work of the year? So far, ch. 1 of hopeless, breathless, burning slow at a whopping 9, 792 words. It really ran away from me.
What’s your shortest work of the year? mmm, you're all that matters to me anyway at 5,954 words. apparently I can't write anything below 5k lol. 🤷‍♀️
What WIP are you taking into next year with you? Oof, I mean probably most of what I had listed above. I aim to have some of it done - but it's already December 7th, so yeah.
What’s your most common “Additional Tags” tag? Smut. lol.
Your favorite character to write this year? Surprisingly, Roy. I almost find him easier to write than Riza. Normally I don't enjoy writing from the male perspective. But Roy Mustang is just 🔥. I was so surprised lol.
The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year? No one, as of yet. But we'll see what I say once I start working more on the multi chaptered fics. 😬
What’s one pairing you want to explore next year? More Royai, maybe with a dash of Roy/Maes. Maybe I'll try a bit of Ed/Winry? Who knows!
Which work of yours have you reread the most? chapter 1 of hopeless, breathless, burning slow. I am so fucking sick of it ahaha helppp.
How many kudos in total did you get this year? Currently at 142! You are all so sweet. 😭
Which work has the most comments? I think cause i'm lovesick at the moment!
Did you do any collaborative works this year? nope! Definitely something I'd consider doing in the future though!
Did you write any gifts this year? maybe! 👀 we shall see
Did you receive any gifts this year? nope!
What’s your most common category? ...Smut. lol. 🤷‍♀️
What do you listen to while writing? ahhhh I love talking about music with my ships! like I said, my ridiculously huge royai playlist. also all of my top songs on spotify were from it, which includes: 1. Say Yes to Heaven - Lana Del Ray (i've got my eye on you / i've got my mind on you) 2. Work Song - Hozier (no grave could hold my body down / i'll crawl home to her) 3. I Wanna Be Yours - Artic Monkeys (secrets i have held in my heart / are harder to hide then i thought / maybe i just wanna be yours) 4. Night We Met - Lord Horan feat. Pheobe Bridges (i had all and then most of you / some and now none of you / take me back to the night we met / i don't know what i'm supposed to do / haunted by the ghost of you) - that ishval restoration fic is definitely going to use a lyric from this song SOMEWHERE Honorable mentions: Die First - Nessa Barrett (someone dies or someone gets hurt / but if one of us dies / i hope i die first) Ya'aburnee - Halsey (i'll never know / if there's danger in confession / or it's memory that presses / like a blade against my throat / another word and i could choke / but what's worst? / tellin' you my feelings / or to die without revealing / that you got inside my head / and set a fire there instead?) Dress - Taylor Swift (there is an indentation in the shape of you / made your mark on me, a golden tattoo / all of this silence and patience / pining and anticipation / my hands are shaking from holding back from you) 10000/10, would play at royai's wedding.
Favorite work you wrote this year? cause i'm lovesick. Again, it was my baby. I loved writing it so much.
Favorite line/passage you wrote this year? mmmm, probably: "She'd planned to stay angry at Mustang for longer, but then he'd surprised her by sauntering into her apartment basically the second his train had arrived, eyes blazing with desire as he collected her in his warm embrace, murmuring you have no idea how much I've been craving to taste you against the soft skin of her throat." (I tried to find one that was mostly sfw lol).
Biggest surprise while writing this year? Just being able to write, in general! It's been so much fun. 💖

Tell me more about your tntduo Danny Phantom au!!
I haven't actually watched it but I'm genuinely curios cause I love your art about it <3
Oh- I'll give you everything about this AU!! I have how many ideas and plots!! But I really remind you all that if you want to watch Danny Phantom, I don't recommend reading discussion about AU is because it will contain spoilers about the series as well as a bit of the latest comic Danny Phantom, which was just released 2 weeks ago!!
If you ask "wait you can make fanfic?!" Well I can but I'm not sure I can execute the story well :( !!! I mostly just conceptualize AU just for fun so if you want to use this idea i allow you- just credit me please.
Plot idea simply:
yo Wilbur is only 16 years old and he is half dead from an accident in the ghost portal. trying to feel alive in a half-ghost state, becoming an impromptu super hero, trying to adjust to the life of ghosts & humans- having internal conflicts with his parents who are hunting for his ghost side as well as conflicts with his younger brother Tommy. Everthing passed then Quackity appeared in his life. Q who is annoyed at her because he & his 'dragon' destroyed his love life & tried to kill Wilbur ghost side, one day they are then forced together in a school project and then learn about each other and start to get close (on the human side only) time passes and Quackity still hunting for Wilbur, a bored Wilbur offers something to Q "How do we become Psycho competitive rivals??? Instead of hunting me how do we fight who can catch and beat more ghosts!" and Q are hesitant at first but he accepts it- they develop more maybe they turn into boyfriend :³???
Fine let me explain. Danny & Wilbur have a lot in common.
Been a sim: ✓ Ever died: ✓ Have a 'twin': ✓ Emotional support sibling: ✓ Have rivals + love interested: ✓ Explode something & lose everything: ✓ Thought to be a bad person but actually depressed: ✓
C!Wilbur & Danny experience the butterfly effect and their lives are inversely proportional because of that, Wilbur loses everything just by losing the election while Danny loses everything by cheating on the C.A.T exam & ends in a bang.
Danny: VLAD! please get rid of the MY ghost side! They must agree too!!
Wilbur: PHIL! kill me! Kill me! They will definitely agree!!
(I kinda forgot how the dialogue was sorry)
Well in the end Wilbur & human side Danny died. Leaving their ghost side… Then they came back to life.
I'm not sure whether to make Dan/Dark Danny in this AU?? It will be a heavy & complex plot, if you don't know Dan is a fusion of ghost Danny & Vlad also the 'evil' & depressed version… In his timeline he destroys the whole world and tries to kill Valerie for getting in his way btw- so in the latest comic he is back and at the end becomes an emo teenager in Danny's clone body that Vlad made.
Let talking about Quackity!!
Quackity plays as Valerie in this AU!!! In the original version, Valerie's life was destroyed by Danny & Cujo (ghost dog) who messed up where Valerie's father worked so that her father was fired and sold their house easily, causing Valerie to hate ghosts, especially Danny & Cujo, got ghost hunting equipment from Vlad Master Valerie became a ghost hunter and exterminated them also tried to kill Danny's ghost side but over time their relationship grew more complex over time especially in the season 2 especially, they even had a date!! It's canon!! But unfortunately they also broke up in the same episode… And since then Valerie was forgotten and only appeared in 3 episodes in the third season…
Quackity's story will be a bit different from Valerie to than the ghost dog what about the ghost dragon?! Well the canon dragon in Danny Phantom with the Amulet of Aragon ghost/human can turn into a ghost dragon when angry or strong emotions— I thought it was great how can include Qsmp, its members & the dragon eggs in this AU ahaha ^^
So the story goes:
Quackity was so happy to be able to ask his boyfriend to go date (I have no idea who) they really love the date but Wilbur & the 'dragon' completely destroy their dating in restaurant, Q has a big fight with his boyfriend and they end up breaking up on the restaurant in middle of all people. Quackity experienced severe stress and started to hate ghosts then someone gave him a gift, a ghost hunting tool. Quackity started his career as a ghost hunter-
Someone: *addresses ElQuckity as Ellie* Me: *remembers what the phandom call Dani as Ellie too, the clone theory oh Dani is a Danny clone too wait…* SHET THIS GENIUS!!! GREAT IDEA EVER!!!
THE IDEA: TECHO AS WILBUR CLONE AND ELQUCKITY AS QUACKITY CLONE!! THAT'S THE COOLEST IDEA SHETT THOUGHT OF EVER!!!
That all i can think- feel free to ask to my ask box hehehe ^^👍

So a while back, I decided to make a spreadsheet listing all of the franchises/series/properties/etc. that I have a special attachment to, along with specific elements/aspects that I particularly enjoy in the media I consume, in order to see if there was any one variable all of them had in common.
It ended up looking like this:
Tumblr media
I added the year I got interested in each property as well, and it’s been funny to see the progression - you can see how it starts with the movies my parents showed me at the beginning, then the video games my friends introduced me to (or that I fortuitously found out about after skipping vacation bible school one day but the full version of that story is for another time), then my special interests growing out of a mix of those...then that little stretch in 2020-2021 where I started dipping my toes into things out of morbid curiosity and getting genuinely invested in them whoops
 Anyway, I wanted to share this in case anyone else is interested in creating something like this. I think it’d be so fun to see what other people consider to be the most appealing aspects of the things they’re into, as well as how their tastes evolved over time! 
(Zoomed in versions of the spreadsheet under the cut for easy reading, as well as abbreviated explanations of how I got into everything on this list, if you’re interested.)
Tumblr media
Jurassic Park - I was obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid. My parents were like, “Hmm, she might like this - we’ll just make her cover her eyes for the scene where the T-rex eats that guy off of the toilet.”
Star Wars - Parents bought me Lego Star Wars for the Wii because THEY liked Star Wars but I had no clue what was going on, walked in on them watching Episode V and they let me stick around
Pokémon - All my closest friends were into it but I wasn’t allowed to play until finally my parents caved and let me get a DS and a copy of Platinum. Easily the franchise I am the most invested in ahaha
Sonic - Went to the phone store with my mom and they had a mobile version of Sonic 2 on one of the demo phones. Went home and got it on virtual console, literally defined how I play video games now
Mega Man - Picked up a copy of Nintendo Power (RIP) because it had Mewtwo on the cover. Featured character was Zero. His design activated all the neurons in my brain so I read everything I could about him and eventually got into the games, and now Mega Man characters own the deed to my house and my firstborn child
FNAF - Friend showed me a video of a playthrough at my parents’ 25th wedding anniversary. Scared the pants off of me. Couldn’t stop watching it.
Alien/Aliens - The Great Movie Ride at Disney, but specifically the waiting room where they play the trailers for the movies (I closed my eyes during the actual Alien section of the ride because it freaked me the heck out). That trailer stuck in my brain and one day I just decided I wanted to watch it. I’ve never mentioned them before but I need y’all to understand that these are my favorite movies of all time and I literally wrote a college essay about why they are so good
Tumblr media
Metroid - Saw Samus in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and thought she was super cool. Got an SNES Classic for Christmas and tried out Super Metroid...instantly hooked. One of the most amazing games in the universe you guys
The Thing - Dad was like, “Oh yeah I watched that in theaters when I was 12 it’s great let’s watch it.��� I couldn’t look my own dog in the eyes for three days.
Terminator - Wanted to check out more 80′s sci-fi. Plus Michael Biehn. Love Michael Biehn.
Twilight - Me and a close friend (neither of whom had grown up reading these) decided to watch the first one as a joke. Got invested. Ended up watching them all. Now I write Mega Man/Twilight fanfiction. Beware what you do ironically, folks.
Homestuck - Was vaguely aware of it for years but (like most people) had no clue what it was about until the Sarah Z video. Decided to give it a try.
It checks almost every single box on this spreadsheet, so...there’s my defense for that, I guess.
The Locked Tomb - Everybody kept posting weird things about this book series and it sounded too crazy NOT to read
Subnautica - I love the ocean. I love space. I love aliens. I couldn’t get a copy of Pokémon Violet at Wal-Mart and wanted something new to play and it happened to be on the shelf.

5:A song that needs to be played LOUD
11:A song that you never get tired of
15:A song that is a cover by another artist
20:A song that has many meanings to you
30:A song that reminds you of yourself
👀👀
UHHHHHH THIS GOT LONGER THAN ANTICIPATED WHOOPS UNDER THE CUT
5:
It was. A tie!! Between this and Silverfuck honestly! But I believe we answered this same question with Silverfuck earlier, so,
I'd also argue the whole album should be played Loud tbh it's Very Good [but we are biased™] Actually y'know what. two songs fuck it
Listen to this . Anytime they play it in concert they just keep making it longer. Half of it is just intense guitar noises. We're obsessed, -Drama
11:
>:3c a sys-wide favourite that we can relate to So So So Many Things ahaha -Drama
fucke you I'm also answering. You're getting multiple songs bc we cannot agree on shit and we're co-con [lh] here's mine:
Complete shift in vibes sorry. ajajdjdjd -Concept
15:
!!! Lov lov LOV this cover so much, the original is good too but the vibes between the two are So Different we feel -Drama
youtube
*screams in Why isn't Salival on Spotify* anyways Tool fucks severely? I remember someone years ago bought the original song on iTunes and it is NOT the same sorry this cover is soooo much better -Concept
20:
Ok this is one Drama and I both agree on for once LMAO uhhhh. *Gestures at the lyrics. And then at our source* you understand 😃👍. In fact this song has SO MUCH MEANING to all of us Skills here for the same reason HEHWNSNDJFSJ it's Sooooo. Source Vibes!!
BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO. THE. NOT-SOURCE REASONS. I will not Get Into It but almost every roster change anyone new [or returning, even!!] have to put the pieces together about our life & shit It Is A Constant Thing. And it's annoying. god bles <3 -Concept
30:
😃👍! .......... i was trying tothink ofnhow to describe this one and Concept just said "we have Truman Show syndrome!" I'm losing my SHIT FJSJSKDJFJF LIKE. YEAH BUT ALSO IT HAS ME VIBES PERSONALLY DJSJDF -Drama
Fun fact: I am the sole reason we have not gone outside in the past week . I saw a wasp outside and put everyone on House Lockdown fuck that shit -Concept

Candy House - Programme to Fall in Love: Chapter 10
Characters: Sora, Natsume & Tsumugi Season: Winter
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ< Almost an hour later. “Candy House” Central Hub. >
Tumblr media
Sora: Let’s put this world to an end.
When Sora chants the “destruction spell”, this virtual space will cease to exist.
And it will be reset to a harmless state. That’s the plan, right?
Mophead: Yes. That’s what Euryale-chan said.
Natsume: Senpai, you look pretty revolting, like a magical girl’s mascot partner or somethiNG.
Sora: HaHa~♪ We’ll save humanity with the power of magic!
Mophead: We’re going to save humanity by destroying the world, right? I can’t tell if that’s a good or bad deed.
Sora: We’re not going to destroy it per se – we’re going to reconstruct it for the better?
Natsume: Is that a reference to “Puella Magi Madoka MagiCA”?
Sora: …Master~ I’m sorry.
Natsume: Hm? Why are you apologising all of a sudden, SoRA?
You’re about to save all of humaniTY – it’s a deed worth praisiNG.
Sora: But according to Ecchan, if “Candy House” were to be reconstructed, then “SSVRS” and “Candy House’s” performance would plummet.
It’ll just be something like a new, high-performing video game console that functions under common sense?
Master~ you said you’d make good use of “SSVRS” to control everything, so wouldn’t reconstructing it go against your plans~...?
Natsume: It doesn’t bother mE. If I let go of this miraculous “Candy House”, where a lot of people gather, then who knows when I’ll get another chance like this?
Sora: Yes… A lot of people go back and forth between reality and virtual reality, so “Gor-Corp” must have their hands full watching them – they shouldn’t know what we’re up to. That’s what you said, right?
Natsume: YeAH. That’s why I chose to execute our plan todAY. There’s no time like the preseNT – troublesome matters like these should be finished quickly instead of putting them off for another dAY.
Or do you think I’m an incompetent magician who can only use one spell, SoRA?
Who do you think I aM? I’m your mastER. Even if I don’t have “SSVRS”, I know plenty of other convenient magic spelLS.
So don’t worry and do what you want to dO.
No. Show the world your magIC.
Sora: Okay, Master~... But before that…
HaHa~♪ HiHi~♪ HuHu~♪ HeHe~♪
HoHo~♪ HaHiHuHeHo~…♪
Natsume: ? Why did you move like thAT? It was cute but confusiNG?
Mophead: Ahaha. Sora-kun does some pretty strange movements sometimes.
Sora: Sorry! Sora can’t explain it very well, so please forget it for now!
But you should understand what it means later~
Mophead & Natsume: …………?
Sora: HaHa~♪ Sora did something unnecessary!
But “Gor-Corp” can ruin our plan at any moment, so let’s hurry and do what we need to do!
Sora will chant the “destruction spell”! Sora will chant it energetically – just like how Sora is always full of energy!
Sora doesn’t know if he can do it well, so Master~, Senpai, please correct Sora if he does something wrong, okay?
Natsume: I’m sure you’ll be fiNE. But if that’s what you want, then I’ll do just thAT ♪
Mophead: Yes. But, Sora-kun, are you sure you don’t need to talk to Euryale-chan?
Well, I guess you’ll be able to chat with Eurale-chan as many times as you like in reality afterwards, though. Things like this have a tendency to be put off if you miss your chance.
Sora: …Yes. Sora thinks Sora will get angry at Ecchan if we meet.
Mophead: Angry? How come?
Sora: There’s something Ecchan is keeping secret from us. But Ecchan is probably not telling us the secret because Ecchan is kind…
Even so, if Sora sees Ecchan, Sora will get angry and say Ecchan’s a mean person, so Sora doesn’t want to see Ecchan right now.
Sora will go and see Ecchan once Sora can say hello with a smile on his face.
Mophead: ……? I don’t really understand, but well, please do as you wish, Sora-kun.
Natsume: YeAH. Everything you do is “correct”, SoRA ♪
Sora: Really? That’d be nice if that’s true~
No. Master~ and Senpai believe in Sora, so in order to not make them liars, Sora will make sure the things he does are “correct” – no matter what.
Alright, Sora will chant the “destruction spell” once more.

i have gotten my sleep :D also you got me there ... im just a simple gay who loves having a pleasant conversation with a pretty boy :3
hell yeah writers unite!! a horror film huh? i'll admit i ... have a pretty low horror tolerance ahaha. i get scared pretty easily so i dont really engage with horror media for my own good. i really wish i had more tolerance tho bc horror is so fascinating. but yeah tell me about your ideas still!!! (if i HAD to pick a horror media i like, i guess it’d be needy streamer overload. it's a psychological horror game where you help this mentally unstable girl become a successful streamer)
yeah, a good friend group can really help you get out there. also damn you got a good find! hope you have fun with filming, it sounds exciting :] i thrifted a pretty sick jacket yesterday for around $7 (im not a dollar user so this is me just converting currencies lol). too bad you cant see it for now teehee
ooooo ive only played a bit of portal 1 and played one pokemon game (it was pokemon sword lmao). im currently playing the legend of zelda: tears of the kingdom, reverse: 1999, noctilucent: before dawn, and papa's freezeria deluxe LMAO i play house flipper and slay the spire on the side though. i have more untouched games in my backlog too (i really wanna play dragon age inquisition at some point). so many games, so little time ...
- 🫀
NAAUUUR 😭😭😭 SAAAD that’s SUCH a common response tbh (to the horror thing) :,) i get it tho. There is plenty of good horror that isn’t necessarily very scary tho lmao. My favorite era of horror is the 80s, and there’s plenty of fun wacky flicks from that era that arent very high up on the scary scale.
Also fuck yeah I love thrifted jackets!! I have multiple thrifted green jackets I have plans to use for patches. Two already have patches sewn on, another is blank rn. Probably gonna get more progress on the other two before I start that one. I’m big into DIY alt stuff, like Kandi jewelry and clothing mods. It makes being alt easier since I’m poor af and buying shit is always a risk 🥴
I don’t have much of a beat by beat narrative fleshed out rn. I’m mostly in the concept stage rn. Trying to nail down my inspirations, symbolism, intent with the story, as well as what everything will represent/mean/imply in the greater message overall. I usually wouldn’t go this hard over the lil details and poetics of everything but like wheghwgw my intent w/ this film isn’t to just make a goofy lil slasher or monster flick, but a more meaty film to properly represent what I wanna convey: WHICH IIISSS lycanthropy as a representation of transmasculinity, depersonalization, alienation from society, and the effects of internal and external struggles on young trans people as they’re trying to find their place in the world. As well as how community can save victimized and alienated trans ppl. All through the lens of werewolf :] ANYWAYS SORRY THAT YAP WAS RLLY LONG I probably could’ve summarized but my brain is goo rn and I’m sleepy af :,)

Thursday - 20/05/24
7:11am
erm? so basically my whole day, today, has changed with no influence from me. mum knows i'm bad with change and my teacher told her a lack of control over my situation is one of my biggest stressors, so why would she do that??
i was meant to be visiting my nan in hospital today as she was in the ICU last night, but mums just changed it to me going to our local town with my other nan, my cousin and my aunt. i'm honestly trying my best to stay calm, i do think it's working, i don't feel any of the common effects i get when anxious but that's not the point. it's still on my mind. why would she do that? i spent all night thinking how the day would go, the car journey, the music, how the hospital looks (thankfully i know the ward as i visited my uncle there just days before; he should be leaving today!), what to say, how to act and preparing myself for anything she could say since shes on the steroids.
i just want to see that she's doing well
5:29pm
well that were a long day ermm 😅 my family were moody but we all got on well. we ate, my first and what was meant to be my only meal of the day, i had avocado + poached egg on sourdough, i can't lie it were fucking lush and i think i needed it. we then went shop, i got some supplements, a levi roots carribean crush drink, sauce dipping dishes for my veg, gum, stickers and fake nails, i bought a lot of them bc i'm gonna take them round my cousins, she's wanting to get some so i just bought an array for her, i'll keep the ones she doesn't like.
my other cousin we met in town, drove back to nans and we made a lego bonzai tree my uncle didn't want. she was meant to take it with her but forgot ahaha. oh well, it looked great!
nans safe after her operation but needs to be guarded at all times, she's trying to get up and leave and really hasn't a clue on what's going on. keeps chatting shit that means a whole lot of nothing, she's obviously impacted mentally by the surgery and steroids, speaking gobbledygook.
don't know if my uncles out hospital or no, worrying but i'll find out soon enough
i had a huge dinner... regretting it but again, tasted fucking amazing
i had fried egg, noodles and chicken gyozas. 5 to be exact, must write it so i can log in a sec.
at my nans house still and we just watching antiques roadshow, we were watching all the quiz shows before, standard stuff lol
9:18pm
just spent an hour peeling pomegranate then making a salad! it was actually fun peeling the pomegranate and i'll def do it again, i just hate preparing other fruit and veg, my fingers get weird and soggy and eughh. i'm lowk proud of myself for not rage quitting nor crying, i cannot cope with that shit. anyway, all that time on my feet must count for something. i made loads for me and mum tomorrow, am gonna try do omad tmrw, the salad i prepared with a small amount of baguette.
the salad had:
- pomegranate
- yellow pepper
- red grapes
- spinach
- co-op salad mix (lettuce, grated carrot, red cabbage)
- chickpeas
- feta cheese
- chia seeds
10:22pm
(the urge to put 22:22)
what da helllll ! !

safe to say i'm never living this down. worst bit is, i don't even feel that full, it's just as filling as my <650 days.
anyway, our cars buggered after like 8 years of being reliable. this year was meant to be the year we went on holiday after all the covid bullshit yk, but i think most money we may have will go for a car. i do genuinely think the car is a better use of the money but it's a shame... good job nothing was booked yet x
shame as well since we've sacrificed quite a few things to save for holiday and now it feels like for nothing. a notable thing being i'm still sleeping on a janky spring mattress despite it giving me major pain in my body.
still have no clue how we'll see nan with the car in a state as we're meant to be going hospital tomorrow but whatever... another unexpected day, yip fucken pee !

Hello! Happy June! It's Pride and I have another question (7/30)
Hello hello, today we are going to take a dive into the word "Gay".
The word gay dates back all the way to the 12th century, and comes from the Old French word "Gai" meaning "full of joy or mirth". This word might have evolved from the Old German word "Gahi" meaning "impulsive", however this is unconfirmed.
This was in use for centuries to mean any version of happy, carefree, mirthful, joyful or bright, and didn't have any sexual/sexuality link until roughly the 1600s.
At that point, the "carefree" gay started being used to call a person immoral or promiscuous, and the Oxford English Dictionary defined it at the time as "addicted to pleasure and dissipations. Often euphemistically: of loose and immoral life". So, a prostitute eventually became known as a "gay woman", and somewhat ironically now, a "gay man" was a womanizer or a man who had a lot of sex with woman (especially prostitutes). This also meant that a "Gay House" was a perfectly normal way of saying "Brothel", and this is also where the word "Gaiety" comes from ("lively celebration or festivities" <- it is a common word in theatre names nowadays).
Then in the 1890s, the term "Gey Cat" ("gey" was a Scottish version of "gay") was used to refer to a "younger man in the company of an older man" or a man who offered sexual services in return for food/protection. Because of the implications of "sexual submission2 in the first definition, this phrase is thought to be the origin of "gay" as "homosexual", rather than just as "sexual deviant".
In 1951, the Oxford English Dictionary for the first time defined "gay" as slang for "homosexual", but this usage was in less mainstream communities at least 30 years earlier, specifically in US prisons and homeless camps.
"Bringing Up Baby" in 1938 is probably the first movie to use "gay" in its modern context. Cary Grant wears a lady's feathery robe in one scene, and when asked why he ad-libbed "Because I just went gay". (<- however, it is unlikely that "mainstream audiences" understood this, and likely thought he meant the carefree definition)
So, with all these definitions, I want to ask you, what makes you feel ""gay""? (any definition you want! :))
Happy Pride 🌈 🎉
Weirdly enough, liking men is what makes me feel gay. As someone who grapples with whether or not I am cis it feels weird to call what most would consider to be heterosexual attraction "gay" (for clarity I am afab), but when I was first learning about lgbt or queer people I tried to staunchly only like women. I felt like I had to be a part of the group in some way, and liking men meant I wasn't.
Now that I'm a bit older and more experienced with the world, me realising that I love men and it's okay to do that and being to express that freely has made me feel more at ease with myself. I feel very comfortable with the term "gay" in relation to myself, more than any term. Even if I do realise that I am cis or decide to comfortably use she/her pronouns (unlikely but possible) using straight just doesn't fit with who I am.
Long ramble aside, liking men is what makes me feel the most gay ahaha
